What is PneumaticCraft: Repressurized?
2 parts
PneumaticCraft: Repressurized is all about doing cool stuff with compressed air. It's an industrial-themed tech mod with its own power system, an original take on automation, and a seriously powerful armor set.[1]
Pressure is your power here. Compressors squeeze air to build up pressure, and they're the mod's power generators. Pressure Tubes carry that air around your base, and many of the mod's machines need pressure to run.[2][3][4]
What you can do with it
- Build Pneumatic Armor, a full suit you can upgrade heavily. You pressurize it and install upgrades in a Charging Station.[5][6]
- Program Drones with a system of widgets. Every program starts at a single Start widget.[7][8]
- Move items and fluids and keep inventories stocked with the Logistics System. It's inspired by Factorio: you attach Logistic Frames to existing inventories and tanks, then link them with Logistics Drones or with Pressure Tubes fitted with Logistics Modules.[9][10]
- Get into oil. The quest chapter takes you from Crude Oil Bucket to the Refinery Controller, then on to fuels such as Diesel Bucket, Kerosene Bucket, Gasoline Bucket and LPG Bucket.[11]
- Produce renewable Biodiesel from seeds, crops and sugar using the Thermopneumatic Processing Plant.[12][13]
Where it fits in ATM10
All the Mods 10 4.5 ships PneumaticCraft: Repressurized 8.2.13. The mod has been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier.[14]
You can start early, because all you need is iron and stone. Blow up some iron to get Compressed Iron, then make Pressure Tubes and Reinforced Stone and build a Pressure Chamber. Compressed Iron Armor is an early-game set that's slightly better than iron.[15][16]
The pack's pneumaticcraft quest chapter follows the same path. It opens with Compressed Iron Ingot in a quest in "?", then branches out into Pressure Tube, Reinforced Stone, the Air Compressor and the Charging Station. From there it moves on to the Pressure Chamber, crude oil and the Refinery.[11]
Unverified The sources don't show whether anything from this mod is needed on the ATM Star path.
How do you get started with PneumaticCraft: Repressurized?
7 parts
PneumaticCraft runs on compressed air. Compressors are its power generators, and Pressure Tubes move that air around to your machines. The mod doesn't add any ores, so everything starts with plain iron.[2][3][17]
What to gather
Grab some iron and some stone before you start. You'll want around a stack of each, and a bit less iron is fine.[15]
Step 1: Compressed Iron
The Compressed Iron Ingot shows up in recipes all over the mod. It's also the very first quest in the pack's PneumaticCraft chapter: a quest in "?". To make it, throw your iron ingots on the ground and set off an explosion nearby. TNT does the job, but any explosion works. Yes, really![11][15][17]
Explosion Crafting (pneumaticcraft)
- any iron ingot
Recipe id: pneumaticcraft:explosion_crafting/compressed_iron_ingot
Drop the iron on the ground and blow it up.
Step 2: Pressure Tubes and Reinforced Stone
Next, make some Pressure Tube and some Reinforced Stone. Both open up in the quest book once you have Compressed Iron, as a quest in "?" and a quest in "?".[11][15]
Step 3: Your first Air Compressor
The Air Compressor is where your air comes from. Its quest, a quest in "?", unlocks after the Pressure Tube quest. It burns any solid fuel that works in a Furnace. Fuel buckets won't work in it; liquid fuels need a Liquid Compressor instead.[11][18]

Step 4: Charging Station
The Charging Station charges and discharges air-powered items such as Drones and Pneumatic Wrenches. It's also where you manage upgrades in items that accept them. Its quest, a quest in "?", needs both the Pressure Tube and Reinforced Stone quests. It then branches out to tools like the Pneumatic Wrench and the Manometer.[11][18]

Step 5: Aim for the Pressure Chamber
The mod's own Getting Started guide ends with building a Pressure Chamber, so that's your first big goal. In this pack, the quest for it is a quest in "?". It asks for a Pressure Chamber Wall, a Pressure Chamber Valve and a Pressure Chamber Interface. It unlocks after the Reinforced Stone quest and a Security Upgrade quest, a quest in "?", which itself follows the Air Compressor.[11][15]
Optional: Compressed Iron Armor
If you have spare ingots, Compressed Iron Armor is a nice early upgrade. It has slightly higher toughness and durability than Iron Armor, plus partial knockback resistance. You can repair it in an Anvil with Compressed Iron Ingots. The full set is quest a quest in "?".[11][16]

How does PneumaticCraft: Repressurized work?
9 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
PneumaticCraft runs on compressed air instead of a normal energy system. Compressors make the air, Pressure Tubes carry it, and machines and tools spend it. On top of that you get a heat system, an assembly line for advanced components, and drones and logistics for automation. Here's how all of it fits together.[2][3][7][10][20][21][22]
Pressure, air and volume
Every pressurizable machine and tool has a volume, measured in mL. That's how much air it holds at standard atmospheric pressure, which the mod calls 0 bar. Pressure is worked out as P = (A / V) - 1, where A is the air stored and V is the volume. So a machine with a volume of 5,000 mL holding 20,000 mL of air sits at 3 bar.[20]
The bar values you see are gauge pressure, meaning pressure above normal atmosphere. 0 bar is unpressurized air and -1 bar is a vacuum.[23]
This is the key idea to get your head around. Many machines need a minimum pressure before they'll run, but what their operations actually consume is air, not pressure. Pressure is just the result of stored air and volume. Most machines accept Volume Upgrades, which raise the volume so each use of air causes a smaller pressure drop.[20]
Air flows from higher-pressure blocks to lower-pressure blocks and always tries to balance out. If you connect a small machine to something with a big air capacity, like a Pressure Chamber, pressure will build up in the small machine.[20]
Pressure tiers
- Tier one machines can nominally resist 5 bar.[23]
- Tier 1.5 machines can resist up to 10 bar. This optional tier was added in the MC 1.18 release. It mainly unlocks charging tools to 10 bar and getting a Diamond Drill Bit, which allows 3x3 block breaking.[23]
- Tier two machines can resist up to 20 bar.[23]
- The Advanced Pressure Tube is the strongest tube, with a max safe pressure of 20 bar. It can be camouflaged and can take Tube Modules for extra functionality.[22]
Making air: compressors
Compressors are the power generators of the mod. You have several options, depending on what fuel or energy you have available.[2][20]
- The Air Compressor burns any solid fuel that works in a Furnace. Fuel buckets won't work in it, so use a Liquid Compressor for liquid fuels.[22]
- The Advanced Air Compressor is the tier two version. It burns the same fuels but generates 50mL/tick and produces heat. The hotter it gets, the lower its efficiency. On the temperature gauge, the bottom arrow shows where efficiency starts to drop and the top arrow marks zero efficiency. It won't explode from high temperature.[22]
- The Advanced Liquid Compressor also generates 50mL/tick and also loses efficiency as it heats up. Crude Oil can be refined into high-quality fuels for Liquid Compressors.[22][24]
- The Flux Compressor turns Forge Energy into air at a base efficiency of 40%, so 100 FE makes 40 mL. Speed Upgrades reduce its efficiency slightly, and it generates heat you need to get rid of.[22]
- The Electrostatic Compressor produces 200,000 mL of air instantly when it's hit by lightning. You raise the odds of a strike with a grid of Iron Bars or Lightning Rods connected to it.[22]

Your first air source.
Heat
Heat spreads from hotter blocks to colder ones, and only into adjacent blocks that support heat. The bigger the temperature difference, the faster it moves.[21]
Two properties control this. Thermal resistance decides how fast heat passes between objects: Torches and Air have high resistance, while Blocks of Compressed Iron have very low resistance. Thermal capacity decides how fast temperature changes: a high-capacity block takes more heat to warm up, but it also cools down more slowly.[21]
Machines lose heat to any face that touches air, and the Refinery is especially bad for this. To insulate a machine, cover every exposed face with any non-conducting block. Trapdoors and slabs work fine.[21]
Static heat sources are blocks and fluids that add or remove heat from adjacent machines. Examples include Ice, Snow, Magma and Lava. They can transform when drained: Lava cools to Obsidian, and Water may freeze or evaporate. The game tracks extracted heat separately from the block, so breaking and replacing a block won't reset it.[25]
- Vortex Tube: turns pressure directly into heat and cold. Put a Heat Sink on the unused side for efficiency.[25]
- Heat Sink: disperses heat or cold from the block it's attached to into the atmosphere.[25]
- Heat Pipe: an insulated compressed iron core that moves heat between blocks without leaking into nearby air or fluids. It's a cheaper, more compact alternative to Compressed Iron Blocks, and you can attach Heat Sinks to it.[25]
- Block of Compressed Iron: an excellent heat conductor that gives you extra faces for Heat Sinks on heat-producing machines.[17][22]
- Heat Frame: a gadget that heats or freezes items in any inventory. It won't pull heat directly from a static heat source, but a Heat Pipe beside it can carry the heat over.[25]
Compressed Iron and the Pressure Chamber
The mod adds no ores. You start by throwing Iron Ingots on the ground and blowing them up to get Compressed Iron Ingot. You'll lose around 20% in the blast. A Pressure Chamber can make Compressed Iron without that loss, but you need Compressed Iron to build the chamber, so a little early loss is unavoidable. Building the Pressure Chamber is one of the first goals in the mod's Getting Started steps.[15][17]
This pack also gives you extra routes. You can make Compressed Iron Ingots from Mystical Agriculture's compressed iron essence, and you can decompress the All the Compressed block back into a regular Block of Compressed Iron.[26]

Unverified The exact Pressure Chamber layout, including sizes and where the walls and valves go, isn't covered by the sources available for this section.
The assembly line
The Assembly Controller runs the assembly line. It controls any connected assembly machine, plus the machines connected to those, and so on. To start assembling, put a program in its program slot.[22]
- Assembly Platform: holds items in place for drilling and lasering. This pack has changed its recipe.[22][26]
- Assembly Drill and Assembly Laser: work on items on a platform directly adjacent to them, not diagonally.[22]
- Assembly IO Unit (import): moves items from an input inventory onto the platform.[22]
- Assembly IO Unit (export): moves items from the platform to an output inventory. You can convert import and export units into each other in a crafting grid.[22][26]

GUIs, upgrades and charging
Most machine GUIs have side tabs. The redstone tab sets how the machine reacts to or emits redstone. The info tab explains what the machine does. The upgrades tab lists what it accepts. The pressure status tab shows current pressure and volume. If something isn't working, the problems tab points you at the cause. Some machines also have their own tabs, like the Assembly Controller's status tab.[28]
Upgrades go into machines and some tools. Their exact effect depends on the device and is documented in its GUI. To put upgrades into tools, you need a Charging Station, which also charges and discharges pneumatic items like Drones and Pneumatic Wrenches.[22][29]
The Air Canister is the crafting component for every pressurizable item. It has a volume of 3000mL, can be charged to 10 bar without exploding, and any pneumatic item crafted with it keeps the canister's air.[30]

Moving items, fluids and entities
- The Logistics System moves items and fluids around and keeps your inventories and tanks stocked.[10]
- The Aerial Interface uses the inventory of the player who placed it as its own, so you can hopper items in and out of that player. It's also one of the two ways to get Memory Essence.[22][31]
- The Air Cannon fires items through the air. Right-click the target block with a GPS Tool, then put the GPS Tool in the cannon's GPS slot.[22]
- The Gas Lift pumps up liquids using pressure. It places Drill Pipes downward until it hits a liquid, digging through solid blocks at a pressure cost that scales with block hardness. The minimum pressure it needs rises with depth.[22][32]
- For hauling oil early on, a Small Tank is a simple option because it keeps its contents when broken. The Gas Lift keeps its fluid contents too.[24]
- The Elevator moves any entity and runs on air plus Elevator Frames stacked on the base. Redstone strength 0 means 0% extension and 15 means 100%. Going back down costs no air.[22][33]
In this pack, advanced.dont_update_infinite_water_sources is set to true. That means drones, liquid hoppers and the Gas Lift won't remove a water source block if it has at least two water source neighbours, which makes water importing faster and less laggy.[34]
Drones and chunk loading
Drones are programmed with widgets that check conditions, control program flow, interact with the world, and more. Many machines and tools also use Entity Filters to choose their targets. For example, @mob matches aggressive creatures and @player matches players.[7][35][36][37][38][39]
- Drones low on air will search up to 80 blocks for a Charging Station, set by drones.max_drone_charging_station_search_range.[34]
- A drone stuck on a block along its path teleports to its destination after 20 ticks, set by drones.stuck_drone_teleport_ticks. drones.max_drone_teleport_range is 0 in this pack, which means there's no limit on teleport distance.[34]
- Drones can't navigate or teleport into unloaded chunks, because drones.allow_navigate_to_unloaded_chunks is false.[34]
- Drones and Programmable Controllers stop chunkloading 300 seconds after their owner logs out, set by drones.chunkload_offline_time.[34]
- Drones can import Experience Orbs and turn them into Memory Essence, since drones.drones_can_import_xp_orbs is true.[34]
How do you progress through PneumaticCraft: Repressurized?
7 parts
PneumaticCraft: Repressurized is all about compressed air. Compressors are the mod's power generators, and pressure tubes carry that air to your machines. This pack has a full questline for the mod, so this section follows it from your first Compressed Iron Ingot to tier 2 compressors and the creative items.[2][3][11][40]
How pressure tiers work
Pressure is measured in bar above normal atmospheric pressure, so 0 bar is unpressurized air and -1 bar is a vacuum. Each pneumatic machine belongs to a tier that sets how much pressure it can safely handle.[23]
- Tier one machines are nominally rated for 5 bar.[23]
- Tier one-point-five machines can resist up to 10 bar.[23]
- Tier two machines can resist up to 20 bar.[23]
Tier 1.5 is optional. It unlocks a few things that used to need tier 2: charging tools to 10 bar, and getting the Diamond Drill Bit, which allows 3x3 block breaking.[23]
Getting started with Compressed Iron
Everything starts with Compressed Iron Ingot, which is the very first quest in the chapter (a quest in "?"). The mod adds no new ores. Instead, you throw iron ingots on the ground and set off an explosion next to them. TNT works, but any explosion will do.[11][17]
Explosion Crafting (pneumaticcraft)
- any iron ingot
Recipe id: pneumaticcraft:explosion_crafting/compressed_iron_ingot
From that first quest, the chapter branches out into several early pieces, including the Pressure Tube, Reinforced Stone, Small Fluid Tank, Omnidirectional Hopper, Liquid Hopper and a set of Compressed Iron armor.[11]
First air and the Pressure Chamber
- Build an Air Compressor once you have Pressure Tubes (a quest in "?"). The questline then branches to the Liquid Compressor and Thermal Compressor.[11]
- With Reinforced Stone and Pressure Tubes done, make a Charging Station (a quest in "?"). You need it to pressurize tools and to add upgrades to them.[11][29]
- After the Security Upgrade quest on the compressor branch, build the Pressure Chamber from its Pressure Chamber Wall, Pressure Chamber Valve and Pressure Chamber Interface (a quest in "?").[11]

Oil, refining and plastic
- The Pressure Chamber leads into oil (a quest in "?"). From there you can build the Gas Lift, Drill Pipe and Seismic Sensor, or go down the Vortex Tube path to the Heat Pipe.[11]
- Once you have oil and a Heat Pipe, build the Refinery: the Refinery Controller, Refinery Output and Thermal Lagging (a quest in "?"). It opens up LPG, Diesel, Kerosene and Gasoline.[11]
- The Diesel branch goes on to Lubricant and then the Diamond Drill Bit. The LPG branch leads to the Thermopneumatic Processing Plant (a quest in "?").[11]
- The Processing Plant unlocks Molten Plastic (a quest in "?"), along with the Upgrade Matrix, the Heat Frame and the food and biofuel side branches.[11]
Circuit boards and the Assembly Line
Plastic opens up a big group of quests: the Pneumatic Jackhammer, elevators, doors, the Capacitor, the Transistor, the Empty PCB and the Amadron Tablet. The Empty PCB and Amadron Tablet quests lead to the PCB Blueprint. From there you work through the UV Light Box, the Etching Tank and Etching Acid to the Unassembled PCB.[11]
The Finished PCB quest (a quest in "?") needs the Unassembled PCB, Capacitor and Transistor quests done first. It's a major hub: it unlocks the Assembly Line parts, the full Pneumatic Armor set and all its upgrades, Micromissiles, and the Programmer with the Drone.[11]

Oil, fuel and plastic
There are several ways to get Crude Oil into and out of other mods. Industrial Foregoing's fluid laser drill has a recipe that produces PneumaticCraft Crude Oil. Oritech's fluid centrifuge can turn that oil into Turbofuel. In the PneumaticCraft chapter, a quest in "?" asks for a Crude Oil Bucket.[11][19]

Compressed Iron Ingot also connects to other mods. Mystical Agriculture can grow it from Compressed Iron Essence. AllTheCompressed can pack a Block of Compressed Iron into a Block of Compressed Iron 1x and unpack it again. The Patchouli Guide Book recipe also uses a Compressed Iron Ingot. In the quest chapter, the ingot is the very first quest: a quest in "?".[11][19]

Which All the Mods 10 quests use PneumaticCraft: Repressurized?
3 parts
PneumaticCraft has its own big quest chapter in this pack, and it also appears in a handful of other chapters. The dedicated chapter takes you from your first compressed iron all the way to drones, pneumatic armor and advanced compressors. Every quest here is an item-collection task, so you complete each one by crafting or getting the item.[11][43][44][45][46][47]
The PneumaticCraft chapter: main line
- Start with a Compressed Iron Ingot in a quest in "?". This unlocks the early basics, including the Pressure Tube in a quest in "?", Reinforced Stone in a quest in "?", the Small Fluid Tank, hoppers, the Crop Support, the Transfer Gadget and the compressed iron armor set.[11]
- The Pressure Tube unlocks the Air Compressor in a quest in "?" and the Tube Junction. Pressure Tube and Reinforced Stone together unlock the Charging Station in a quest in "?".[11]
- After the Air Compressor you can do the Liquid Compressor, the Thermal Compressor and a Security Upgrade in a quest in "?". That upgrade plus Reinforced Stone opens the Pressure Chamber quest, a quest in "?". It asks for the wall, valve and interface.[11]
- Next, get a Crude Oil Bucket in a quest in "?". This leads to the oil-drilling parts and the Vortex Tube, which then unlocks the Heat Pipe and Heat Sink.[11]
- The Refinery quest, a quest in "?", needs both the oil quest and the Heat Pipe quest. It asks for the controller, output and Thermal Lagging, and it opens the LPG, diesel, kerosene and gasoline bucket quests.[11]
- LPG leads to the Thermopneumatic Processing Plant in a quest in "?". From there, Molten Plastic in a quest in "?" unlocks a large batch of quests, including the Pneumatic Jackhammer, elevators, doors, the Capacitor and the Transistor.[11]
- The circuit board chain comes next. You need the Empty PCB and the Amadron Tablet for the PCB Blueprint, then the UV Light Box, then the etching tank and etching acid, and then the Unassembled PCB. The Finished PCB in a quest in "?" also requires the Capacitor and Transistor quests.[11]
- The Finished PCB unlocks the assembly line parts, Micromissiles, the Programmer and Drone in a quest in "?", and the full pneumatic armor set in a quest in "?".[11]
Side branches
- Tanks: the Small Fluid Tank leads to the Medium Fluid Tank, then the Large Fluid Tank, then the Huge Fluid Tank.[11]
- Reinforced Stone branch: Minigun Ammo leads to the Minigun and then the Sentry Turret. The same branch has the logistics quests and the Reinforced Chest, which leads to the Smart Chest.[11]
- The Charging Station leads to the Manometer, the Pneumatic Wrench, the Camouflage Applicator and the Charging Module. The Charging Module then leads to the Module Expansion Card.[11]
- Fuel and food branch: Diesel leads to Lubricant Bucket and then the Diamond Drill Bit. The Netherite Drill Bit needs both the Diamond Drill Bit and the Jackhammer quests. Yeast culture leads to Sourdough and to ethanol, then Biodiesel Bucket. Vegetable oil leads to Cod n Chips.[11]
- Pneumatic armor upgrades: over a dozen upgrade quests hang off the armor set. Jet Boots go from Jet Boots Upgrade: Tier I up to Jet Boots Upgrade: Tier V in a chain, and Jumping goes from Jumping Upgrade: Tier I up to Jumping Upgrade: Tier IV.[11]
- Advanced branch: the Advanced Pressure Tube in a quest in "?" unlocks several quests. These are the Advanced Air Compressor (which leads to the advanced liquid and electrostatic compressors), the Flux Compressor, the Pneumatic Dynamo, the Aerial Interface and the Solar Compressor. The Solar Compressor also needs the Solar Cell quest.[11]
Unverified The machine upgrade quests (range, dispenser, speed, security and volume) and the advanced branch, which also includes the Aphorism Tile and a second PCB quest, depend on quests that aren't part of this mod's list. What those prerequisite quests ask for couldn't be confirmed.
Other chapters
- The Star chapter asks for a Compressed Iron Ingot in a quest in "?", followed by an Aerial Interface and Micromissiles.[44]
- Another Star chapter asks for a Creative Compressed Iron Block and a Creative Compressor.[43]
- The basic armor chapter has one quest for the full pneumatic armor set and one for the full compressed iron set.[45]
- The building tips chapter accepts any wall lamp, inverted or not, for a quest in "?".[46]
- In the tips and tricks chapter, a Charging Station is one of several items that complete a quest in "?".[47]

- drones.chunkload_offline_time is 300, so your drones and Programmable Controllers stop chunk-loading 300 seconds after you log out. A value of 0 would allow indefinite offline chunkloading.[34]
- drones.allow_any_player_var_query is true, so drones can locate any player on the server with the $player=<name> variable.[34]
- drones.allow_teleport_to_protected_area is true, so drones can teleport into areas protected by other players' Security Stations.[34]
- drones.max_drone_teleport_range is 0, which means there's no limit on how far a drone can teleport when it can't find a path.[34]
- drones.allow_navigate_to_unloaded_chunks is false, so drones won't path or teleport into unloaded chunks.[34]
- drones.drones_can_import_xp_orbs is true, so drones can pick up Experience Orbs and turn them into Memory Essence fluid.[34]
- general.max_programming_area caps an Area Programming Puzzle Piece at 250,000 blocks.[34]
Air, machines and upgrades
- Each Speed Upgrade multiplies speed by 1.5 (machines.speed_upgrade_speed_multiplier). It also multiplies fuel usage and heat generation by 1.649999976158142 (machines.speed_upgrade_usage_multiplier). Both stack as a power of how many upgrades you install, so upgrades cost more than they give.[34]
- The Flux Compressor makes 40 air per 100 FE, and the Pneumatic Dynamo makes 40 FE per 100mL of air (both efficiency settings are 40).[34]
- The Manual Compressor gives 1000 air per pump cycle and drains 0.1 hunger per cycle step. Fake players can't use it.[34]
- Logistics Modules need at least 3 bar to work (logistics.min_pressure), and the Pressurized Spawner needs 10 bar.[34]
- Each stacked Elevator Base block adds up to 256 blocks of elevator height.[34]
- advanced.dont_update_infinite_water_sources is true. Drones, liquid hoppers and gas lifts won't remove a water source that has at least two source neighbours, which makes water import faster and cheaper.[34]
Amadron and the Pressure Mechanic
- Amadron reshuffles its periodic offers every 24,000 ticks, which is one Minecraft day. It shows up to 10 periodic offers and up to 20 villager offers.[34]
- Non-admin players can each add up to 50 custom Amadron trades.[34]
- villagers.mechanic_trades is set to ALL, so the Pressure Mechanic offers every trade, including the PCB Blueprint you need for normal progression.[34]
- Mechanic house generation frequency is 8, which the config describes as the default.[34]
Recipes and worldgen
- recipes.in_world_plastic_solidification is true, so Molten Plastic poured into the world solidifies into Plastic Sheets.[34]
- recipes.in_world_yeast_crafting is true, so you can grow more Yeast Culture by pouring Water next to a Yeast Culture block with Sugar in it.[34]
- Both oil worldgen lists (blacklist and whitelist) are empty, so no dimension is excluded from oil lake generation by this config.[34]
Combat and gear
- Micromissiles don't damage terrain or start fires, and Minigun Explosive Ammo doesn't damage terrain either.[34]
- Minigun base damage is 6 and base range is 50, before ammo bonuses and Range Upgrades.[34]
- Bandages restore 6 health (1 health is half a heart), with a 160-tick cooldown between uses.[34]
- The Jackhammer's Vein Miner Plus mode reaches up to 10 blocks from the mined block.[34]
- Security Stations can be hacked, and players in Creative mode are not exempt from their protection. Only server ops are.[34]
